Picture this: K-Rod unwelcome in photos

Predictably, neither Johan Santana nor Francisco Rodriguez was at Citi Field for the taking of Wednesday afternoon’s team photo in center field.

After all, Santana underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder, while K-Rod had a court appearance that day and is suspended by the team anyway.

Still, one of the pitchers ultimately will appear in the team photo, according to a team official.

If you guessed Santana, you’re correct. The team plans to digitally add the ace to the photograph through the wonders of technology.

As for K-Rod, he’s not welcome in photographs either these days.
